DOHA: Ooredoo yesterday announced the lowest local calling rate of 10 dirhams/minute for all calls to any network in Qatar.
The new campaign ‘One Qatar, One Call Rate’ means that Hala customers using International Saver Key or Egypt Key will always be able to pay the same rate whether they call local Ooredoo lines or call numbers provided by other operators in Qatar.
With immediate effect, a uniform calling rate of 10 dirhams/minute will be available on Ooredoo’s International Saver Key and Egypt Key for calling any local number in Qatar.
“Where Ooredoo leads, other companies follow. In recent years, we have worked to simplify pricing and make it easier for people to see the incredible value Ooredoo offers. Now, by providing uniformed pricing for Hala customers – whoever they are calling – we are taking the mission a step further,” said Waleed Al Sayed, Chief Operating Officer, Ooredoo Qatar.
“Just as Ooredoo has led the way in rolling out the nationwide Ooredoo Supernet to offer incredible speeds and crystal clear voice, we are rolling out our unified approach to pricing we think will surprise and delight our customers.”
International Saver Key gives customers international calling rate of 45 dirhams/minute for calls to 121 countries at QR1 per week. Its customers will also be able to unlock the low-cost local calling rate of 10 dirhams/minute, removing the distinction between calls to Ooredoo numbers and other operators. To activate the key, customers need to send “ISK” as an SMS to 121. Egypt Key offers the lowest calling rate of 30 dirhams/minute at QR2 per week and now will unlock the local calling rate of 10 dirhams/minute. To activate the key, send “EGY” to 121. Among the countries covered by International Keys are Nepal, the UAE, the UK, the Philippines, and South Africa.
